Teenagers: Reckless or Mature.

Throughout the media commercialization, teenagers have been the center of every reckless ad in more than many ways of destruction. For example, in the image above, a teen is driving with one hand on the wheel while holding a drink and her friend feeding her what seems to be potatoe chips. These sorts of ad is insituating the harm and carelessness in teen driver. This portrayl is very common in today's media. Allstate commercials are always antagonizing different types of people and lately teens have been their center of news. This then implants to adults the stereotypical image of all teens being this careless behind the wheels, hence addding on to the bad reputations acquired of teenagers. It's quite clear that this insurance company is putting forth the notion that as long young people are alive and existing, people must have theri type of insurance to protect their vehicles. Therefore, my thoughts all lead to the question of: are teenagers and young people always going to be portrayed as this, reckless; or is there any hopes of positive media for them?
